but let's assume governor romney won. if he wins, that almost certainly means the republicans will hold on to the huse and it will be about 50/50 in the senate, more or less the way it is now. if president obama wins, i think that too will break the log jam for a different reason. as senator mcconnell said, their number one goal the last four years has been denying him a second term. as soon as he gets that, they can't deny him a third term, he can't have one anyway. i think you will see -- i'll just make a prediction. i think in the lame-duck session, they will avoid the fiscal cliff, they will reach an agreement -- >> by extending it? by some sort of extension? or by making a deal? >> they'll either make a deal or they'll have a short extension, which makes it clear this is not another year, this is not going to fool around. i predict that you will get a budget deal early next year, if not in a lame-duck session. and i think you'll start to see them work together. it's going to be a different world. >> because the elect

romney has a tougher map. he starts with a little bit of a deficit if you count the states that he can count on and wisconsin is another important state to look at. that was one state that obama won in 2008 where romney thought he could make inroads. picked paul ryan. the polls tighten. now the polls have gotten wider there. >> based on your reporting what do you sense mitt romney will do differently or stay on the' track? >> this is a great question. it's been several months where at various times they said we'll get more specific. if you listen to him on the stump all he's done so far is assert his plans over again. that hasn't done it so far. so the question is what's he going to do -- it could just be some people are tuning in now and maybe when they hear his programs for the first time people find that attractive. but there's been a month's long question about whether he can do something more to sell his program for the future that actually connects with people. >> that's the big question still. >> this w
